pondboy 12-23-2004, 11:36 AM is there a drawback if i use the axles out of a 1975 landcruser? aposed to axles out of a 84 toy pu ? i plan on putting them under a rro coil lift . i have both types of axles . i know the off sets on the landcruser are the same as the stock sammie . so i want to use them . but are they as strong as the other? and will they work with the lift? woody 12-23-2004, 11:45 AM 75 is a poor choice, drum front brakes and coarse spline birfields. However, do a disc and birf upgrade on the fronts and yer golden. (use minitruck knuckles/birfs for that) Cruiser pinions are not as strong as minitrucks, but mini's tend to have ring gear problems due to weaker carriers. You shouldn't have issue with a light Sami tho. SilverZuk 12-23-2004, 12:24 PM After market is poor.

Good luck and have fun. samiguy 12-24-2004, 04:37 AM I have Cruiser axles with a coil suspension in my sami. I got them cheap. I do notice the ground clearance issue a bit but its not that big of a deal Ryknazook 12-24-2004, 04:22 PM I run cruiser axles under my sami and love them.. allthough I'm not coil suspension.. they are still nice axles. And you dont have to get a new t-case/tranny/engine to run them. However.. mine are out of a 86 FJ60. Try to find FJ62 axles if you can, the come stock with a nice gear. 4.10's if I'm not mistaken.

Why would you have to change t-case/tranny/engine to run Mini truck axles?? | |
